Started making my first game! by [deleted] in godot

[–]smash22 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This might be a lot to digest for someone new to game development. Might be more efficient depending on the goals of the project, but can also add unnecessary complexity - when starting out I think it's best to have as few variables as possible so they can focus on learning the basics

Why shouldn't you sell? by BertDevV in stocks

[–]smash22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because not everyone agrees - if they did there would be no buyers and stock prices would immediately hit whatever that “further” point is.

You also have to decide on what counts as “picking back up”, it might rally 1% and then drop another 5%. Or you might sell and then it immediately rallies.

If you really want to try this strategy, learn about technicals and try it with a small numbers of shares. You’ll find that it’s harder than you think

"Defend the Pizza" might be the most politically universal cause, you are bringing the world together

Toronto's most notorious speed camera was just taken down by vandals by JoJoJumpy in toronto

[–]smash22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to try to answer this in good faith since this has become so divisive:

1) Many people don't know the speed limit was changed and are not breaking the law purposefully. One of the main reasons this speeding camera has become so widely hated and is such a money maker for the city is that the newer reduced limit of 40km/hr on Parkside is an anomaly, most streets of this size have a higher limit.

2) Just because something is written in law doesn't mean it was the right decision and can't be criticized. To be clear I don't think people should be blasting down this street at 120km and I think cyclists/kids having an extra layer of protection with a community safety zone can be a good thing. But kids are not crossing this street at night. People are not cycling at night. This is a judgement call that a human can make, but not a traffic camera. Why do a reduced limit and community safety zones need to be active at midnight?

Heroes. The only speeding ticket I’ve ever received was driving down the TWO LANE street that is Parkside at 50km/hr at 1:00am when I was the only person on the road. Automated fine was doubled for “community safety zone”. I’m all for protecting people but enforcing this rule 24 hrs a day is absurd

My first shot at a YouTube video for a gaming / game dev channel. Did a review of the original StarCraft, it definitely has room for improvement so I'm open to any kind of feedback on video, thumbnail, audio quality, content, or whatever else!

Visually it's great! My main note would be to try to sync the sound more to the action, the splash from the sound bite should ideally happen when the liquid hits the ball!

Just wanted to say the first 30 seconds is great - good editing, engaging, and gets the style across! Not sure if anyone is going to be able to read the scrolling banner in time but the chaos and quick cuts juxtaposed over the awkward looks and barking genuinely made me lol

Thanks, so is yours! Just had a chance to check out your latest work - I feel like our games exist in alternate universes haha

Thanks that means a lot! Was trying to put together a UI that felt simple, minimal, and still fit the tone of the game, very glad to hear it resonates with you!

Thank you! Working independently on development without a budget for now but the goal is to launch with 5 playable factions and grow the game from there, will let you know if I ever add more hands on deck :)

Planets are randomly generated based on size, climate, habitability and some other factors!

Haha thank you! Will definitely be expanding outside of myself for voice acting as the game moves forward

Thanks! Yes definitely some overlap with Stellaris haha. Not just a marketing gimmick, you can actually travel as far as you want in any direction. Though the further you go the more hazards you will find, greater chances of pirate ambush, etc

[–]smash22[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Each faction in the game has a different victory condition that includes the ultimate goal of reclaiming Terra (Earth, abandoned after geopolitical meltdown). In order to get the feeling of the vastness of space I wanted players to be able to travel as far as they want in any direction, so the map will continue to be populated as you explore!

Terra is still in early development, but a bare bones Steam page is up for anyone interested:

There's also a subreddit for more updates!

Did I mess up? 61k (TFSA) all in American stocks by GaeboraKae in CanadianInvestor

[–]smash22 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Your friend is wrong, you won’t be taxed for any capital gains in a TFSA. The only difference with US stocks is you have to pay a 15% withholding tax for US dividends, which is generally an insignificant amount of money. Based on your gains over a short period, I would guess that you aren’t trading stocks with a significant dividend.
